You are what you think about most.
-Catherine Wambach

This is a reminder for you to watch your thoughts. Better yet, choose your thoughts carefully. Are you spending a lot of time feeling tired, feeling sorry for yourself, feeling helpless? Join the club – the human being club. Been-there-done-that.

BUT the good news is you don’t have to stay there. Shift into a new gear with a gentle walk through the leaves or call a friend who needs to be cheered up or journal about how great you feel (fake it till you make it) or write out your vision for the perfect Parisian getaway.
Whatever floats your boat – put your focus there. mmmmmm. Feeling better already.

The "Gift" of Fatigue

The gift of fatigue … where do I begin?

Fatigue slowed me down long enough to fall in love and marry Michael. (The old me was always on the go and alone. Who has time for Love?)

Fatigue made me choose to do “what matters most” vs. “whatever” was on my plate. (The old me was a work-a-holic who couldn’t prioritize.)

Fatigue offered no easy recovery solution. It made me search far and wide – grow. I discovered a new, fascinating and fun world that involves all my senses AND my heart, mind and spirit. (Highlights: I’ve been certified in Reiki, studied Reflexology, built an intimate relationship with God, become nutrition savvy and made many fabulous friends. Now I am learning all about Chakras, aromatherapy and the power of prayer and patience. Fascinating stuff.)

Fatigue armed me with information and been-there-done-that compassion. (I used to be so hard on myself and everyone else. My goal was productivity. Now my goal is love, connection, contribution and en-JOYment.)
Fatigue hung on long enough to make me form healthy habits that now help me stay balanced, grounded, peaceful, confident and happy.
I Love my new life and I am grateful to fatigue for making this possible.

Get dirty. Feel better.

Today I took the morning off from worrying over a loved one and took on that gardening chore I’ve been putting off and off and off.

I headed back there with my clippers, weeder, shovel and a prayer of faith tucked into my back pocket on a neon yellow index card. I’d pull, chop and cut and pause to read it and fill my mind with …

Faith, Faith, Faith. I have faith in God. I have faith in people. I have faith in things.

Faith replaces fear. Faith energizes everything – body, mind and soul. Fear, well, it is that rocking chair that gives a feeling of activity but goes no where.

Anyway, I realized a couple things today.

I realized that the longest part of recovery is the time it takes to get into action. Then the rest just flashes by. (My garden looks great. Nothing to it.)

I realized that faith is awesome. That person I prayed for instead of worrying over? They felt fine and had a great day. So did I.

So the next time you feel really down and out and faithless go out into your garden and get dirty. Take a prayer with you. Exhilarating.

Re-Energize Your Root Chakra .

Red panties in your future?

Reading The Book of Chakras and I am fascinated starting with the root chakra and its color red.
In brief … the Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with the adrenals and the adrenal glands are associated with … energy!

The Root Chakra grounds us. According to author Ambika Wauter, its intelligence “helps us to administer our life force. It is concerned with the qualities of order, security, structure and stability that we need to make a viable existence.

The Root Chakra has associated archetypes … The Mother and The Victim.

The balanced root chakra is “The Mother” is as you would imagine – strong, loving, positive, nurturing, self-sufficient, connected to the community, positive, trusting of herself and the process of life. The out of balance root chakra is “The Victim” ruled by outward circumstances, tired out by the weight of the world, hopeless, angry, defensive, impatient, negative, resentful, isolated and fatigued.

I talked about this with a girlfriend in-the-know and she recommended a simple boost “wear red panties.” I’m buying them tomorrow! Maybe you want to nab a pair for yourself and we can compare notes a week or so from now?

What else can you do to strengthen your root chakra? Practice patience, cultivate serenity and a live and let live attitude. Develop meditation skills, keep a gratitude journal, learn how to pray (there are many ways) and get physical in ways that demand your attention — yoga, a breathing practice, Salsa Dancing, wind surfing …. make it fun.

Fatigue Speedbump … Energy Vampire … What hit me?

Today was one of my 4 a.m.ish rise and shine and go to the gym days. And so I did – easily as a matter of fact because I’d gone to bed at 9:00 p.m. the night before. It makes my day when I walk my talk!

Anyway, I got up, bipped off to the gym and had a great workout. I felt strong and oh so invigorated. It was fun.

Then came a delicious breakfast of poached eggs, toast, hash browns, bacon, pancakes, butter, syrup and coffee. Half an hour later I was on the road heading home and going through antics to keep my eyes open. I felt exhausted.

What hit me?

This is what I consider the “fine tuning” phase of my recovery from fatigue.

When my fatigue recovery story began I felt like this all the time. When you feel like c-r-a-p all the live-long-day there are no speed bumps just blahhhhhhh. Now when I feel this way I know to go through a process of elimination …

Is it an allergy to something I ate? I will try this and omit that with this breakfast until I find the trigger. Maybe I’ll need to opt out of this restaurant fare and wait till I get home for my Oatmeal Blueberry Energize … keep it simple.

If you are feeling tired all the time OR having noticeable bumps during your day PLEASE get and follow the instructions my Fatigue Be Gone Jumpstart e-Guide. Why? Because I want you to get your life back too.

The guide isn’t a cure. If you are down way low it probably won’t solve all your fatigue issues BUT it will get you on the road. It will help you route out one or more key issues and get them cleared up. Just feeling a “little bit” better can make a HUGE difference. That little bit of relief and extra energy will help you feel better and continue to upgrade your diet, exercise, relationships …

It takes time to wear yourself out. It takes time to build yourself back up and you can do it. The guide will help.

Then … a year from now you will notice your speed bumps. You will hit them – need to figure out what you ate, what you were thinking or what you were feeling before the wind was knocked out of your sails. That’s great. That’s life vs. still life.
